connection between the two! Athletics has taught me skills such as time management, teamwork, and persistence, all of which have shaped how I conduct my nursing practice. How did it feel to be on a record-setting relay team this year? It’s hard for me to even express what it means to be part of the winning relay teams from this year’s NWC Championships. I am so grateful I got to swim with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met, and that goes beyond just the other three swimmers that were on each

can participate in the give and take of society. Here, wellness is understood to involve the whole person, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. By considering a wide variety of healing traditions, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dine (Navajo) healing traditions, Jewish healing movements, Ayurvedic medicine, or the practice of Curanderismo within Hispanic communities in the United States, the course challenges classic biomedical assumptions that health and wellness are

actual writing of poems. Perhaps without quite knowing it, each student is building a writing practice that has two desks in it.Still, as emphatic as I am about the importance of craft in the writing of poems, I also know that art, in addition to the technical effort involved, also involves a kind of alchemy. The best poems seem made of a magic that no discussion of craft ever quite captures. Regardless of the vigorous, almost- scientific discussions we have about craft, the numinous is the context

familiar I am with a source material, the more reason I argue with an adaptation. I am not suggesting that an adaptation has to be faithful to the source material. Rather, if it is going to experiment with the original material, I expect the creators to be intentional, historically informed, and meaningful in their efforts.

challenges for Smith and Taiwo will be to subdue students who are super-fans of the music. “I want students to take pop culture seriously as political texts,” Smith said. “Really thinking about issues of identity and power within our pop culture texts is a significant skill for students to have. Will it get you a job? Maybe not, but it will leave you a more informed and aware citizen.” Students in Daniel Heath's course titled "How to Build a Starship" conduct an experiment involving skateboards and

forefront. Sitting on a PLU student-hosted hair panel in 2016 caused Taiwo and Hambrick to think more about black women’s natural hair experiences at PWIs. Their personal experiences going natural also informed their research. Hambrick started transitioning to natural hair in 2015, after noticing the beauty in other black women’s natural styles.

, communicate and use information and data,” she explains. “We can also bring new or innovative approaches to the way we do our work by bringing people together across traditionally unconventional lines and supplying them with quality data and information so that new ideas, new approaches, and new programs can emerge, and informed decisions can be made.” For McConnell, it makes a lot of sense that a place like PLU would be home to such a creative and forward-thinking role. “PLU has always been a place with

says. “Once I had a couple of weeks to figure out where everything was and to practice basic techniques, I felt much more comfortable working independently.” The work centers on polymers — large molecules made up of smaller molecules linked together like a chain — which make up everything from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon pans. In the future, it may improve lithium-ion batteries. Jackie Lindstrom ’22, a chemistry major and fellow student researcher, said that after the year of remote

, joined the group last year as a chorus member in the production of Turandot by Puccini. After the show ended on Aug. 18, Marzano was invited back as a chorus member in La Boheme. Rehearsals for the universally popular classic began in January and since then Marzano has been leaving campus right after Choir of the West practice to head up to Seattle. Leaving at 5 p.m. puts him in Seattle around 6 p.m., so he can get his makeup done and costume on before the curtains go up at 7:30 p.m. “The good thing
